We're a few months out from Ubisoft and Grasshopper Manufacture releasing No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle on Wii, but if you missed the original No More Heroes, there's another opportunity; No More Heroes is being upgraded and ported to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The news was buried in the pages of the latest issue of Japan's Famitsu Weekly. The HD-enabled version of No More Heroes is arriving on February 25, according to a report by Siliconera.
What most people have probably forgotten is that No More Heroes was destined for Xbox 360 all along. Grasshopper designer Suda 51 was developing No More Heroes for Microsoft's console until someone told him about Nintendo's Wii plans. At that point, he moved No More Heroes to this new platform.
“Originally, I’d wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually," he told MCV in 2008. "[Marvelous Interactive boss Yasuhiro] Wada-san had information about the new Wii and how the new controller would work before it came out, so that’s why he thought I should produce the game on that format. At the time, I didn’t really understand why, but after seeing and understanding how it works, I think it was a good choice and the controller works really well with the game.”
No More Heroes isn't just being ported to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's coming back home.
Ubisoft has published No More Heroes, but as the new versions have just been revealed, it's unclear whether the company will also handle releasing these new renditions. Stay tuned.

I was and still am disappointed in this decision, but I think Ubisoft is staying loyal to Nintendo by not publishing it thankfully (at least I think they said they weren't).
Not sure if this means a port of NMH 2 though. I think the only reason they're porting it is because it was originally made for those consoles in the first place. NMH2 was made on the Wii from the ground up, so I'd imagine it's less likely to be ported.
Poop lord
I really disagree with this decision. To me one of the factors that made this game so likable was that it was a badass rated M game for a consle that sill to this day is seen as a babyish consle. But, now all that will be oblitorated. I also liked how because of the fact that NMH was on the Wii not that many people knew about this gameand so it was b=more underground than mainstream. I absolutely hate when good games like AC2 hits mainstream because it then becomes something cool that EVERYONE plays just to play. The point is i am EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED!P.S Im not a nintendo fanboy.

No More Heroes should have HD, but the motion controls feel better to me than button mashing. The wand from sony might be out before the game drops (though I doubt it will be used) but I don't think natal will be out in time. Since the game was meant to be for the 360 in the first place, it should turn out good on both. It might make a spike in Wii and NMH 2 sales since some people may not want to wait for the sequel to port out.

That was the beauty of having on wii,,,,,to know what it feels like to slice people in half literally andthis game matched that.
torchmoney
it wont feel the same

This is just further proof that studios are really desperate.I really don't think that this will sell any better on the other consoles.Just look at what the sales did for GTA Chinatown wars on the PSP LMFAO!For one the Wii controls proved an action game can be done right with motion controls and help add a unqueness to the game.Why put it on the other two machines thats populated by a bunch of fickled,jaded gamers that cry like toddlers just because it does'nt have HD and because its not a COD,Guitar hero or any other popular ,mainstream ,zombified over budgeted titles.

Shouldn't they also bring the sequel to the 360 and PS3? It'd be odd if they just stop at the port. I'm getting it either way, though.

Sweet now i get to play NMH finally
Wii=Epic Fail

Meh, it'll maintain as a franchise but everyone knows why certain games on 360 and ps3 sell better then others(because they are more then often FPS). Don't get me wrong. I like my FPS. THough, it's not the only form of gameplay. NMH II is still getting released before the other ports to PS3 and 360 come along, so I don't think anyone wasted any money investing their money and time into the wii version. Plus, it'll be a different experience. Unless, Ubisoft and Suda decide to utilize the HD console's motion controls, which still has quite sometime before it's release.

Just another sign of Nintendo's loss of power. They can't even hold onto one of their few third party games that was decent.

All I can say on this is screw Studa 51 and screw Ubisoft for taking a good exclusive away from us Wii lovers. I may not own a Wii yet, but when I do, the Wii is the only place I will ever get No More Heroes because in my humble opinion, that's where it belongs...not on PS3 (as much as I like mine) and certainly not on that Deathbox 360.

Oinkness
This game was great when I bought it for the Wii. Best game on the system as far as I'm concerned. I'll definitely be renting it for the 360. I won't buy it again though. And I sold my Wii. ;]

buiman11
Eh, as much as I love No More Heroes, I kinda don't like the fact that its getting ported. I mean, Im not just a Wii person, thats for when I go casual, but Its like the only game the Wii has exclusively that's M and is really going well. I'll just wait and see the turnout.
scottyrob82
Finally. I loved the first one and played the hell out of it on my Wii. It's just it will oh so fresh on the 360 and PS3 and I don't have to make those silly moves. Plus the game will get the sales it deserves.
